Okay, so I love a matte lip as much as the next person. They're most definitely on-trend, tend to wear far longer than a gloss or a cream, and can tie your whole look together. My only problem with matte lip products is how they have the potential to FEEL when I wear them- I can't handle dry-feeling lips! don't even get me started on if/when they start to peel and flake off. It's an official makeup mare. BUT- I was recently sent some of the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolours to try, and I can say a big YAY about them because they're frickin fab!

First of all, I love the smell. They smell like lollies and vanilla, and for whatever reason, that really appeals to me. The formula is more lightweight than any other matte liquid lipsticks I've tried, which initially made me wonder if it would apply streakily...but nope- the colour payoff was awesome! The Ultra Matte HD Lipcolour wore just as well as any high-quality matte lip product (and survived numerous cups of coffees & a burger for lunch), and it just felt really, really nice on comfortable on my lips. It doesn't flake or peel off, it just faded a little as the day went on, which is FAR more preferable in my humble opinion. Mainly because this means you can easily reapply...without having to try and scrub any residue off- not my fave thing to do, and I bet it's not yours, either ;)

These are available in Farmers (and other Revlon stockists!) now for the excellent price of $29.60, and come in a small but beautiful range of colours. My faves? Forever (the perfect pinky-brown neutral), Kisses (a berry pink which will be perfect for Autumn), & Romance (a blue-based, true red). Highly recommend!
